Infravision's 2024 topic : Inclusive infrastructure

2024 annual topic

InfraVision’s work will revolve around one infrastructure-related theme each year.

In 2024, the Think Tank will investigate the multifaceted relationship between inequalities and the development of infrastructure and discuss strategies to evolve towards more ‘inclusive infrastructure’. The research will address questions such as :

Why can building more inclusive infrastructure help address the short -and long- term challenges of our time beyond social disparities, including decarbonization and economic growth?

What are the main barriers to access essential infrastructure, and how does the public perceive them?

What policy recommendations linked to urban planning and governance can help build more inclusive cities?

To what extent can business, regulatory and investment strategies help tackle the risk of accumulating inequalities and the vicious circle they foster in terms of infrastructure access ?

Paris Infraweek the 6^th of November 2024

We will be organizing a series of workshops to gather information on inclusive infrastructures.

These workshops will take the form of masterclasses, panels, and podcasts that will bring together high-level experts, infrastructure operators, investors, NGO representatives, public figures, start-ups and more. These workshops will contribute to the creation of a long-form report, which will be presented during InfraVision’s annual conference during Paris InfraWeek in November 2024.
